My son and I were in the market for a nice used car that is reliable and well maintained. We found a Jeep Cherokee that he fell in love with. He test drive it and thanks to Jiovani the sales man he was able to get us a good price. I appreciate them working so diligently and fast. Appreciate good sales people. Thanks Jiovani.

Josh was great in customer care and all around good experience for my purchase needs. There are a lot of bad reviews online about this dealership but people don’t realize that every place will have ups and downs depending on their own situation. These guys are a great place to work with and would recommend to anyone who is a serious buyer!

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a car at California Motors Direct with the assistance of Darrell, and I can't recommend his service highly enough. From start to finish, Darrell made the entire process smooth and hassle-free. His professionalism, patience, and deep knowledge of the vehicles really stood out. He took the time to understand my needs and offered insightful recommendations, which made my decision-making much easier. If you're looking for exceptional customer service and a seamless buying experience, Darrell is the person to see. Thank you, Darrell, for making this a fantastic experience!

I had a great experience here at CMD of Santa Ana! The process was smooth and my salesman was awesome, he took the time to actually work with me and didn’t loose hope like the rest of the dealers I visited while car shopping. Steven was very helpful and was willing to help me drive one of my dream cars home last week! Shoutout to Steven! Also want to give a shoutout to Maryland who assisted me with no hesitation and hassle free when I noticed a small issue on the vehicle and got it taken care of the same day I mentioned it to her! I’ll be sure to recommend friends and family to CMD of Santa Ana!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joshua at California Motors Direct to purchase a 2022 Kia K5, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Joshua's professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. From the moment I walked in, Joshua made me feel welcome and comfortable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the Kia K5, taking the time to explain all the features and options available. His expertise helped me make an informed decision without any pressure or rush. What stood out the most was Joshua's attention to detail and commitment to finding the right car for me. He patiently answered all my questions and went above and beyond to ensure that the car met all my needs and preferences. His friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking to buy a car. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his customers make him a standout salesman. Thank you, Joshua, for helping me find the perfect 2022 Kia K5!
